KAP to Seattle is just reporters attempting to stir up stuff. I think KAP will be out of the league very quick. His head is not in the game. There were reports from team members saying that certain players would have done better if they studied the playbook more. ( don't have a link I remembered reading it at the end of last season).

I remember that study quote too. I also think it is Kap trying to promote himself after his issues. There were reports on facebook nfl sites that said he will toe the line.....He is looking to get paid again. I think his brand is pretty much untrusted now. Once you burn your bridges....it is hard to rebuild them.

Agree 100%. KAP even went so far as to say he doesn't need to work on his mechanics. So the ignorance is the beginning of the end of him.

I don't think this is particular to Kaepernick, as more generally we don't have language to talk about average QBs.

Guys like Cutler, Kaepernick, and Tyrod Taylor don't suck, they're just average to slightly below average, which is a real thing. If RGIII could stay healthy he'd be the same way too.

I think these are the types of guys who can work as bridge QBs, or in the least should be able to go to places where they can compete for a starting job due to lack of a clear starter, or get half a season of play time while a rookie is groomed.

This is all to say that I think Seattle doesn't make a lick of sense for Kaepernick, and Kaepernick doesn't make sense for Seattle either. It's not worth the investment for them, and there's no chance of playing for him.

The 49ers could cut him with no cap ramifications, and they wanted a clean break. They were splitting no matter what, and opting out now allowed him to hit free agency while the deals are hot. I don't like him, but it wasn't a stupid move.

No, it wasn't because somebody is going to pay him good money with the intention of giving him a shot at a starting job. Not as the guaranteed day one guy. But somewhere like Houston, Cleveland, Chicago, Jets and maybe a couple others.

Maulbert is dead on here.

Kap wasn't going to be a 49er this year at his current price. He either opts out or he gets released. Looks better to opt out.

Really a non-story. He could resign in SF but my money is on him being a backup somewhere.
